1.0 Background
1.1 Emergency Shelter and Support Services Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) manages a coordinated and effective system of shelter and housing services to improve the housing stability of people who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness in Toronto.
SSHA’s top priority is to ensure that vulnerable people can access temporary accommodation when they need it. The City follows the Housing First approach and operates based on harm reduction principles, which means direct access to permanent housing as quickly as possible, with the supports needed to maintain it. These supports include case managers that work with residents to determine services to meet their needs, including mental health and addictions counselling, primary care, and a range of social and employment services.
SSHA oversees the operation of 67 shelters in the City of Toronto, 56 of the shelters are operated by community agencies and 11 are directly operated by the Homelessness Initiatives and Prevention Services (HIPS) Unit of SSHA, providing more than 7,000 emergency and tran-sitional shelter beds in different locations in and around the City.
As part of the City of Toronto’s three-tier response to COVID-19 to help individuals who are experiencing homelessness stay safe and allow for physical distancing of two metres between shelter beds, SSHA has had to open over 30 additional sites since mid-March and moved more than 3,500 individuals into a combination of hotels, motels, community spaces, interim and permanent housing. The City took these urgent actions in order to save lives and protect vulnerable people, who are at greater risk of COVID-19 related harms. These 30+ programs have opened all across the City.
1.2 The Roehampton Residence The Roehampton Residence is one of the shelters established as part of COVIC-19 response to assist with meeting Toronto Public Health guidelines for physical distancing. It opened in early
July under a two-year lease contract as a temporary shelter with an option to extend for one more year.
The Roehampton Residence Program is run by City staff and offers case management (assessment and referrals to community services/resources), housing search help, meals, harm reduction and recreational programming. The Roehampton Residence provides services to adult couples and singles of all genders.
1.3 Existing Shelter Close to Schools The City’s goal is to open new shelters in neighbourhoods across Toronto so that people experiencing homelessness can stay within their communities. SSHA currently operates or oversees shelters in 22 Wards across the City.
Some of these shelters are located close to schools and day cares. Examples include, Fort York Men's Residence which is co-located with a City-run daycare. Both Good Shepherd Ministries and Scott Mission who serve men experiencing homelessness are just meters away from local
Page 4
schools. Seaton House and Schoolhouse have operated for decades near schools and childcare. The Salvation Army's 124-bed men's shelter has operated next door to Ronald McDonald House and one block from a school for 40 years. When that shelter relocated, it formed a good relationship with the four Leslieville schools located within three blocks of the shelter.
2.0 Purpose
Providing emergency shelter to people who are experiencing homelessness is an important community service that is offered in neighbourhoods across the city. SSHA recognizes the right of all community members to feel safe in where they live and is committed to facilitating safety at schools in collaboration with local schools and key stakeholders to identify actions in a proactive manner and allocating resources to support initiatives that will promote school safety.
The School Safety Plan seeks to identify safety concerns and considerations from consultations with stakeholders and measures that are in place and those to be implemented to facilitate and support the safety of children, school and shelter staff, community members including shelter residents and school property. It outlines roles and responsibilities for the various action items as well and provides a framework for continuous engagement.
3.0 Approach to Developing the School Safety Plan
The City is committed to working with local school partners, and other key stakeholders to develop and implement a School Safety Plan.
The plan preparation process will be guided by the following considerations:
1. The safety of children in schools is of utmost priority to the city and every effortshould be made to prevent situations that can potentially put children in a harm's way
2. Maintaining safety is a collective responsibility and that no individual or organizationcan guarantee anyone's safety
3. Hazards at schools can be found on school property from members of thecommunity whether a shelter exists or not
4. Residents of Roehampton Residence are equal citizens of the City and have thesame rights, freedoms and responsibilities as other residents of the city
5. Communication regarding hazards and safety concerns must be clear, transparent,upfront and timely
6. Safety measures outlined in this document will be regularly reviewed foreffectiveness and updated to reflect changing conditions, lessons learned and bestpractices
The City has established a regular process of communicating and engaging with the school
principals and trustees. SSHA's Community Engagement Team and Roehampton
Residence Management Team have established relationships with school superintendents,
principals, school council chairs, childcare centre representatives, trustees, TDSB senior
facility and communication staff and other stakeholders and organized a number of
meetings. In addition, SSHA staff in consultation with School Principals have organized site
Page 5
visits and tours. Pictures of hot spots were taken during the school visits. These pictures will
be given to the Community Safety Teams (CSTs) to assist with their work.
The consultations and interactions with key stakeholders provided SSHA Staff the opportunity to understand, first hand, concerns of schools and community members and unique needs of schools. Inputs and feedback from these meetings and site visits have been incorporated into this Safety Plan.
4.0 Safety Concerns and Issues from Stakeholder Consultations The following are general safety concerns and issues occurring in and around schools and the community in general from the stakeholder consultations:
1. Community members accessing school space for different activities when school is closed (e.g. sports)
2. Safety of travel routes of children on their way to and home from school 3. Parents and educators have the added pressure around school returning during a
global COVID-19 pandemic 4. Young people drinking alcohol on school property after school 5. Unleashed dogs 6. Trespassing 7. Illicit drug use on school property and the surrounding neighborhood 8. Scattered drug paraphernalia around schools in the community 9. Excessive littering 10. Potential harassment from shelter residents 11. Property damage/vandalism 12. Increase in bike thefts as more kids are likely to come to school on bikes this year to
avoid public transit because of the COVID-19 13. Increase in crime (e.g., break-ins, shoplifting etc.)
While not all the above safety concerns and issues have been validated, the responses outlined in this School Safety Plan are intended to reduce the likelihood of hazards or threats occurring and/or minimize the impact on the safety of community members should they occur.
5.0 Promoting School Safety: Key Actions Safety situations in communities depend on different factors which continue to evolve. SSHA has and will continue to engage and listen to community concerns and reach out to local school councils, schools administrators and trustees, BIAs, daycares, condo boards and tenant associations to develop and implement additional community safety measures and supports beyond those outlined below as needed.
